Summary
Rumor has it the new DART trains won’t fit through Bray Head tunnels—thanks to social media chatter and local concerns. But Irish Rail has firmly shut that down, confirming the trains are perfectly sized for the network and have been rigorously tested without issue. Minor overhead upgrades are underway in the tunnels—not tunnel widening—but routine maintenance to meet new standards. While delays have pushed the rollout to next year’s second quarter, the bigger Dart Plus project remains on track to triple the DART’s reach and transform Dublin’s rail connectivity.
